GM is embracing hybrids now

General Motors plans to invest $2 billion in its Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant to produce hybrid-electric vehicles, making it the latest U.S. automaker to shift towards hybrid vehicles in response to consumer demand. The investment includes $1.25 billion to prepare the assembly plant for future vehicle production and $500 million from a previously awarded Domestic Manufacturing Conversion Grant, which was originally intended for electric vehicle production. The company assembles gas-powered SUVs at the plant, which produced a record 291,000 vehicles in 2022. Insiders expect hybrids to be offered across multiple brands, including Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC.
